Frequently asked questions
Is this splint disposable?
Yes, the DMS Economy Full Foam Cardboard Folding Splint is designed for single-use application. This disposable design helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Is this splint fully covered in foam for maximum comfort?
Yes, patient comfort is a primary design feature. The DMS Economy Folding Splint provides full foam coverage on all exterior sides of the rigid cardboard core to ensure maximum cushioning during immobilization and transport.
Key features of this disposable splint include:
- Enhanced Patient Comfort: The complete foam encapsulation minimizes contact irritation.
- Rigid Support: The internal cardboard structure ensures necessary stability for securing wounded or broken limbs.
- Bulk Quantity: The splints are disposable and sold in large case quantities of 36 units, suitable for emergency medical providers.
Is the full foam coverage maximized for comfort?
Yes, the DMS Economy Folding Splint is designed with patient comfort as a top priority during emergency transport. The splint features full foam coverage on all sides of the underlying cardboard structure. This comprehensive padding helps maximize comfort and ensure gentle stabilization for injured or fractured limbs during immobilization.
Which splint sizes feature the foldable bottom?
The specialized foldable bottom section, designed to enhance stability, is included on the two longest variants of the DMS Economy Full Foam Cardboard Folding Splint:
- 24-inch length
- 36-inch length
This foldable feature allows caregivers to create a more secure, enclosed structure around the patient’s hand or foot during emergency transport. The 12-inch and 18-inch models do not include this folding capability.
Is additional tape required to secure the splint?
Yes, securing tape is required to fasten the DMS Economy Splint effectively around the injured limb.
While the splint provides the necessary rigid structure (cardboard core) and patient comfort (full foam coverage), external tape is essential for:
- Maintaining the splint’s correct position on the limb.
- Ensuring complete and secure immobilization during emergency transport.
Please note: The necessary securing tape is not included with the case of 36 splints and must be sourced separately.
Are multiple splint lengths offered?
Yes, the DMS Economy Folding Splint is available in four different lengths to accommodate various limb sizes for emergency immobilization:
- 12 inches
- 18 inches
- 24 inches
- 36 inches
All splints feature full foam coverage on all sides to maximize patient comfort during transport. A key distinction is that the 24-inch and 36-inch variants include a practical foldable bottom section specifically designed to secure the patient’s hand or foot. All sizes are sold in cases containing 36 disposable units.

Key features ensuring rapid and comfortable stabilization include:

- Secure Extremities: The longer 24-inch and 36-inch splints include a specialized foldable bottom feature for securing hands or feet.
- Ready for Field Use: Available in four lengths (12”, 18”, 24”, 36”) and sold in cases of 36, making them ideal for emergency medical kits and ambulances.
Important Note: External adhesive tape is required to fully secure the splint around the limb, as tape is not included with the product.
